Peace Indicator: $312,885,119

This week's Peace Indicator is $312,885,119, the current size of the total portfolio of the United Nations Peace Building Fund.

In 2006 the United Nations created the Peace Building Fund. The fund aims to address immediate needs of countries as they emerge from conflicts.

Currently they provide support to nine different counties. One of the first was Burundi, which they targeted for support just days after the fund was formed. They have worked on projects ranging from human rights to government to property and land issues.
